” may not be an option for all athletes, injured or healthy. As a result, simulated altitude training has become increasingly popular. The elevation training mask (ETM), also known as an altitude mask, claims to improve performance by increasing endurance, VO 2 max, and lung capacity. Anecdotal evidence

skated back to his net wearing a Plexiglass face mask, refusing to remove it despite “catcalls from the safe seats.” 1 Thereafter, Plante insisted on wearing the mask over the objections and ridicule of coaches, managers, fellow players, and fans.

analysis, it was observed that, in many cases, urinary LH concentrations close to or below the threshold of 1.0 IU/L were related to low SG values (diluted samples, SG < 1.005). Based on anecdotal evidence, hyperhydration is being used by a number of athletes as a masking method, since urine dilution is

review of biomechanics literature demonstrates that only the protective equipment available to batters and catchers have been evaluated, 5 – 9 whereas, to the authors’ knowledge, no tests have been performed for the facemasks available for fielders. Data from studies examining catcher’s masks are

measured twice using an electronic stadiometer and weighing scale (Seca 274, Medical Measuring Systems, Chino, CA). Lab personnel discussed what could be expected from the general protocol, and how to navigate certain parts of the yoga sequence while wearing the measurement tools (mask, backpack, and

% during straight line running), which could mask any small load increases in the anteroposterior and mediolateral axes that may occur during tackling drills. It has previously been shown that 3D accelerometer loads are strongly influenced by total distance traveled during locomotor activities (due to the
